Different Types of Glassware - 11/16/2007 2:15:47 AM    Pholma Pris   Posts: 2 Joined: 11/16/2007 Status: offline There are many different types of antique glassware such as antique amber glassware, green antique glassware and antique crystal glassware or the pink "Depression ware" pieces popular with collectors in the United States. A popular and inexpensive type of glassware for beginning collectors is carnival glass. The material is iridescent because metallic salts were applied during production and is usually a rich, deep purple. you can alos post your idea and new things about glassware, for more information you can check it out my signature, thank you  _____________________________ Identifying Antique Glassware Post #: 1

The purple pieces more commonly referred to as amethyst come in four or five shades including purple are slightly more rare than marigold, the most plentiful color. The big producers of the  pieces where Fenton, Hanson, Dugan, Millersburg, Imperial and Northwood among others and can be quite pricey. There are over 2000 patterns and collecting can be quite a challenge for the beginner. The hobby is rife with reproductions and are a constant pitfall for the beginner. The person thinking about entering the wonderful world of collecting pressed iridescent glass should do his or hers homework.. There are many decent books for the beginner on the subject and one must read up to avoid over paying (happens all too often) and grabbing a repro and running home only to be disappointed.  Lobey. _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc86_Weoye0 ya never come back (in reply to idigjars) Post #: 3
